Buhligen rose from a Luftwaffe mechanic to one of Germany's most formidable tactical pilots. While intercepting Allied air forces supporting the historic Normandy landings, he achieved his monumental 100th aerial victory on June 7, 1944, behind the controls of his Fw 190. Surviving relentless combat across the Battle of Britain, North Africa, and the Western Front, Buhligen completed the war with an astonishing 112 confirmed victories. This release perfectly captures his command fighter's distinctive double-chevron fuselage markings, contrasting brilliantly with the aircraft's classic green-and-grey splinter camouflage finish and a white spinner spiral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for curators of Western Front air operations and D-Day historical aviation collections, this Aviation Archive Collector Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact. The 1:72 scale model is engineered with exceptional precision, featuring a solid metal tail and wings paired with simulated fabric-stretched control surfaces. A standout engineering highlight is the functional 12-bladed cooling fan inside the engine cowl that spins in unison with the main propeller. Complete with configurable landing gear subassemblies, accurate inner wing details and cannon barrels visible within the wheel wells, and spent shell casing vents, this premium model delivers a commanding presence on its included custom metal display stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive Collector Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA34315\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focke-Wulf Fw 190A (\"Butcher Bird\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTactical Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Chevron (Command Markings)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePilot\/Commander:\u003c\/strong\u003e Major Kurt Buhligen (112 Career Victories)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader 2 \"Richthofen\" (JG 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCampaign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Defense of the Reich \/ D-Day Operations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creil, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 1944\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,000 pieces worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic Kurt Buhligen 100th victory era livery, 12-bladed engine fan spins in unison with propeller, open wheel well internal detailing, custom display stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.75\" or 12.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75\" or 14.6 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Mint (10\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox condition - Mint (10\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections.
